It’s the landmark 100th episode of the DCAU Review, and The Good Brothers are reviewing one of the most pivotal episodes in the history of the DCAU. Cal & Liam discuss the events leading up to Starcrossed and break down one of the most heart-wrenching romances to playout in the DCAU, while also talking about the shortcomings of the CGI mixed into the digital animation, the decision to make the main baddie a Hawkman-ish character, the awesomeness of the Batcave battle scene, and easter eggs from Batman ’66. Plus a discussion around the gorgeous soundtrack, Carl Lumbly’s screams, why the final appearance in the DCAU from #MyAlfred was such a great add-on to the story and some of the best vocal performances to date. This all leads to a scorecard in the upper-echelon of DCAU history. Plus, a special announcement about next week’s episode and a celebratory compilation from the DCAU-content community on this week’s all-new, 100th episode of the DCAU Review!

For the final time of the decade, the Good Brothers are bringing you an all new DCAU Review! This week the hosts wrap up Justice League month with the episode “Wild Cards Parts I & II” featuring Mark Hammil’s Joker in all his glory, and a few other DC Animated voice veterans you’ll recognize as the Royal Flush Gang! The guys discuss the all-star voice cast, the progression of the Hawkgirl/Green Lantern romance, the visuals of a Las Vegas backdrop and where they would’ve liked to have seen the plot end up compared to where it actually goes. Plus a complete scorecard and the hosts reveal the first series being reviewed in 2020!

Seasons Greetings from the DCAU Review! This week the Good Brothers get in the holiday spirit with their review of the Justice League episode “Comfort and Joy”, a rare 22-minute edition of the original Justice League series. However, the limited running time of the episode doesn’t mean the hosts are left without things to discuss as they cover appreciate for the overall feeling the episode brings, J’onn as Charlie Brown looking for the meaning of Christmas, George Newbern’s first Clark Kent portrayal, the DJ Rubba Duckie song and who one of our hosts thinks would’ve been the perfect cameo in the intergalactic bar fight. Can the boys deliver another entry into their “Top Picks” category? This might just be the Christmas miracle you’re looking for, in this week’s edition of the DCAU Review!

Episode 84 of the DCAU Review is here and as the Good Brothers continue their December reviews of Justice League they happen to be reviewing the episode “Maid of Honor” which features the dawn of the #WonderBat phenomenon, the return of Vandal Savage (or at least someone that looks an awful lot like him) and some risque dialogue that somehow made it past the TV sensors. Cal & Liam discuss the introduction of the digital animation of vehicles, theorize why the Kaznian terrorists look like Intergang Agents, discuss the familiar musical notes used and try and figure out from which Super Friends episode Vandal Savage lifted his diabolical plan. Plus a complete scorecard and a preview of our very special holiday-themed episode for next week’s podcast!

The Good Brothers have finished their latest stay in Gotham City and have returned to the future (well… not the future)! That’s right, Liam & Cal are kicking off another month of Justice League reviews by covering the very memorable “Tabula Rasa” Parts 1 & 2! Listen as they discuss the groundwork this episode lays for the future of the DCAU, the COMPLETE removal of any subtlety as to what exactly the nature of Lex Luthor and his former chauffeur Mercy Graves’ relationship entailed, plus their thoughts on the DCAU debut of a classic villain in AMAZO and an interesting subplot involving Martian Manhunter! All of this, plus each host’s scorecard and even more are in store on Episode 83 of the DCAU Review!

To celebrate the start of the Holiday season, Cal & Liam are bringing you a special gift in the form of their second BONUS episode ever, and this one is set to bring back a whole bunch of nostalgic feelings. The Good Brothers are talking about their top ten favorite toys from the DCAU on this extended episode. From the early Kenner Batman: The Animated Series figures to the Superman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures toys of the mid to late nineties, all the way up through Hasbro’s Batman Beyond and Mattel’s Justice League and Justice League Unlimited figures, the hosts run the gamut of DCAU collecting, including some surprises and deep cuts while discussing why these particular toys mean so much to them. So sit back, make yourself another plate of Thanksgiving leftovers and relive your childhood on this week’s bonus episode of the DCAU Review!

The Good Brothers wrap up the month of July with an important tentpole in the Justice League storylines with “A Better World.” The guys talk this version of fascist Superman versus other iterations, several convenient plot holes, how this fits in with the DCAU as a whole and as usual, a full scorecard. All of this, plus a preview of what’s coming in August and much more on this week’s DCAU Review!
